AGNES.
“‘Agnes’ is a novel superior to any of Mrs. Oliphant’s former
works.”—_Athenæum._
“Mrs. Oliphant is one of the most admirable of our novelists. In her
works there are always to be found high principle, good taste, sense,
and refinement. ‘Agnes’ is a story whose pathetic beauty will appeal
irresistibly to all readers.”—_Morning Post._
------------------
A ROSE IN JUNE.
“‘A Rose in June’ is as pretty as its title. The story is one of the
best and most touching which we owe to the industry and talent of Mrs.
Oliphant, and may hold its own with even ‘The Chronicles of
Carlingford.’”—_Times._
------------------
PHŒBE, JUNIOR.
“This last ‘Chronicle of Carlingford’ not merely takes rank fairly
beside the first which introduced us to ‘Salem Chapel,’ but surpasses
all the intermediate records. Phœbe, Junior, herself is admirably
drawn.”—_Academy._
------------------
LIFE OF THE REV. EDWARD IRVING.
“A good book on a most interesting theme.”—_Times._
“A truly interesting and most affecting memoir. ‘Irving’s Life’ ought to
have a niche in every gallery of religious biography. There are few
lives that will be fuller of instruction, interest, and
consolation.”—_Saturday Review._

LIFE OF JEANNE D’ALBRET, QUEEN OF NAVARRE.
BY MISS FREER.
“We have read this book with great pleasure, and have no hesitation in
recommending it to general perusal. It reflects the highest credit on
the industry and ability of Miss Freer. Nothing can be more interesting
than her story of the life of Jeanne D’Albret, and the narrative is as
trustworthy as it is attractive.”—_Morning Post._

THE LIFE OF THE REV. EDWARD IRVING.
BY MRS. OLIPHANT.

consolation.”—_Saturday Review._

BY PROFESSOR CHARLES DUKE YONGE.

doubt not, become the most popular English history of Marie
Antoinette.”—_Spectator._
